During Project Sweet Sauce, I will be trying to stay well-hydrated. The jury is out on whether or not I will be able to kick the soda habit, but I'm going to be working very hard to drink more water. In order to kill two birds with one stone, I'm going to focus on infusing my water with ingredients that should theoretically start to improve my own personal love juice. This recipe is inspired by one I found in Martha Stewart.
Fresh pineapple (about 3/4 c. large chunks)
Fresh mint (1 small sprig, leaves only)
Water (use distilled or spring if your tap water tastes funny)
Put the chunks of pineapple into a stainless steel bowl. Gently bruise 6-10 whole mint leaves and toss them in as well. Add half a gallon of water. Put in the fridge. You'll be straining it into the pitcher tomorrow.
Bonus points:
Take another quarter cup of pineapple and cut it into small chunks. Put one chunk into each section of an ice cube tray. Add a small mint leaf to each section as well, then pour water over. Pop in the freezer.
